Ahm, thank you. That'll do for now, I think. We now all understand completely how utterly fantastic you are, and that's good to know for future reference. Personally, I couldn't think of anything more prestigious (spelling?) than being named a Lean Machine by Oracle's own Profit magazine. You don't come much higher than that.


And man, are your numbers bigger than my numbers. Respect! Small wonder your name is what it is. I bet you can even beat me wrt number of children you have fathered?

Now, the REDO (capital letters is important here) strikes me as a bit small. Are your users actually doing anything, or is it a read-mostly thing you're running? Also, I'd suggest you replace those 20 Sun servers with a couple of Opteron-loaded standard boxes. Just for your main production environment, mind you. Might be easier to handle a couple of standard PC boxes than all those refrigerator-size monsters out in the big, cold room. The main cold room, that is.

Vauw.

Did we get here all because of ORACLE/Solaris?  Heck NO!  We know what we are
doing from top down.  But it sure helps especially when you consider that our
MAIN production environment consist of 20 servers supported by:

  2 DBAs and 2 SA

with the following load:

  Data Growth per Year
  ---------------------
  Operational DBs  32GB
  Warehouse DBs   124GB

  10GB worth of REDO throughput per 24 hours
  3-4 thousand SQL*Net connections per hour

Additionally we manage 12 smaller production databases.
